very civil those Brits. Leave a Waffle House without leaving 20%, you're likely to get shot.

What were they going to do, try to make it to the border before they got caught?

Trying to skip out on their 4 am, $50,000 bar tab.
No, no, no, NOT $50,000. Per the article it was £50,000, or about $65,000. I can no longer drink $65,000 worth of booze and then perform professionally the next day. Oh, to be young again.

Of course, that's not as exciting a story as those that originally came out.
“Sorry, Gentlemen, you’ll have to accompany me to the station. What? Which one? Mr. Church, is it true you played American football for the University of Toledo Rockets? Ah, then you’re free to go. The rest of you lot- Follow me!”

It still says "Barry Church" in THAT article. Detained, arrested, semantics I suppose. Traveler warnings sometimes refer to scams like this, stuff sent to a table without being ordered or naive not getting prices.
The real blackeye is it puts out there exactly the sort of thing that hurt NFL the last few years, a bunch of extremely rich out of touch entertainers. They'll hush-hush this as quick as they can and put on the "we're just normal family people."
Looking at the crowd, seems there's A LOT of extremely rich out of touch.

Divided by 4 that's only about $16,000 worth and over, say 3-4 hours. You could run that off the next day.
So, they're claiming they didn't order all of it, they thought it was on the house or someone else was paying for it like, say, Bono.
I don't see where it says Church was not arrested, though.

Though it doesn't say it now, the original version on nfl.com did say that Church was not detained (I'm not smart enough to know for sure if there's a difference between detained and arrested, but it seems like there might be).
The latest version of the story (updated this morning) does say Church was detained_

Tweet that said Church was the only one not arrested.
At any rate he still started the game. You can see Church and Hester on NFL network right now.

Sounds like he was the designated baby-sitter and the children got out of control. OR they could have all been scammed.
Bill paid out of someone's pocket change.

Wonder who talked them into going to this trap? Looks like the same scam pulled on previous customers.
Sounds like a great place to visit if you have a small group of athletes making over $50M/year (combined). What could possibly go wrong?

Garrett Wolfe had a similar thing happen when he was with Bears, in Miami.
